My ex FiL left a will. Everything goes to his surviving spouse. My ex is the sole executor, which I’ve confirmed. My ex has had P of Attorney over her parents finances for several years.
FiL turned into a semi alcoholic and was happy to let the crumbling pile fall down around their ears...my ex, an only child, had to sort all tradesmen ( new roof, gutters, dodgy old electrics and old plumbing, squirrels inside chewing wires, boiler the size of a large tent in the cellar) gardener, cleaners. Sorted all household repairs...how anyone could break white goods on a weekly basis is beyond me.
She’s managed their finances and paid for all above repairs out of her parents bank account.
Finances are straightforward...one private pension, State Pension, disability allowance. All Rental income from friends in the self contained flat, which is minimal, is spent on gardener, cleaner, building maintenance etc
Seems very straightforward to me.
The incredibly hard part is dealing with my ex MiL who is severally mentally & physically disabled and refuses to go into a home.
If she was my mum she’d have no choice.
